Wow what a summer. I don't even rememer what the test was like because I am so burnt out.
Bio- 24
Ochem-30
Gen Chem- 30
Reading-22
Math-18
Pat-18
TS-28 (99.9%)
AA-25 (99.9%)
BIO- random. But this was expected. I had a solid foundation in Bio and used Barron's AP BIO and Destroyer. I would say that this combination is sufficient to score 20+. Some of the other questions I picked up from my knowledge of Cell Bio and Biochem classes that I have taken. I was hoping for a 20, and am more than happy with a 24. I also know what I got wrong, and its annoying because the question is debatable......
Gchem+Ochem- Honestly, if you know destroyer cold, you will have a great handle on these sections. I finished both sections in 20 mins. I came in with a solid background in the chems, and Destroyer fine tuned me. If you need a standpoint, my first time around in Destroyer, I would get maybe 4-5 wrong out of 30. But don't solely use it as a problem source- the explanations are where the wealth of the information is. It is a STUDY guide. For all those who say it's overkill- well it was well worth being "overkill" to me.
PAT- Idk what happened here! I ran to the bathroom after my science section because I had 2-3 mins left (after having reviewed the section 1 time). I got into trouble with the lady outside because I gave her an attitude, and didn't sign in the right places, so I wound up being late to my PAT lol. The keyholes were impossible for me idk. I was scoring 22 on CDP, but had not taken a test for like 3 days before my test- I think that contributed to my low score. I'm just glad its not any lower. I can live with it.
RC- I wrote down keywords...actually I don't recall what the heck I did. I just raced through it, searched, destroyed, read some, mad some notes- Idk. I didn't do much practice for this section, so I was praying for a 19. I don't even remember my passages I think I had one on aging and the brain. Not positive lol.
QR- wow this sucks. I was scroing like 32/40 in Destroyer math, so I thought I'd hit over a 20. But my mind was SHOT. I couldn't think, and I started to give up. I just answered whatever I could, and started to make educated guesses on questions. For instance, if u see a figure and they ask you for area of an irregular shape like a square minus some weird shape, I would pick an answer under the area of the square. I was burnt and did my best. I honestly think all you need is Math Destroyer. Know how to solve the problems, but make sure you time yourself. My test had like an endless supply of word problems so know how to solve those quickly. I suggest doing math at the end of the day when you can't take the pain anymore- because that's how you will feel during the test lol.
I studied my whole summer away, and it's back to school on Monday. But it was WELL worth it, so good luck to all who are taking it soon- you're gonna kill it!!
